The Colour of My Love

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Knowing that we'll never part.
I'll draw the years all passing by
So much to learn, so much to try.

I'll paint my mood in a shadow blue,
Paint my soul to be with you.
I'll sketch your lips in shaded tones,
Draw your mouth to my own.

I'll trace a hand to wipe your tears
And trace a look to calm your fears.
A silhouette of dark and light
To hold each other oh so tight.

I'll paint the stars in the evening sky,
Draw the light into your eyes,
A touch of love, a touch of grace,
To softly fall on your moonlit face.

And with this ring our lives will start,
Let nothing keep our love apart.
I'll take your hand to hold in mine,
And be together through all time.

by David Foster and Arthur Janov

    This is a Celine Dion song called "The colour of my love" If you haven't heard it, I suggest you listen to it. It's great!

  • Colour of My Love

    This poem is absolutely timeless. It reaches across all time and just sets the whole mood for a very special event. I shared this poem with my to be daughter in-law and she just fell in love with it. My son is an artist and it was so him. Thank you, they will use this in their wedding in August.
